    In this course students practice the fundamentals of oil painting through a series of exciting and rewarding experiences. The course begins with familiarizing students with the basic materials used in oil painting, such as oil paints, brushes, canvases, palette knives, and palettes. Students learn how to set up a palette, arranging colors logically for easy access during the painting process. Practices start with simple subjects or still life arrangements for beginners. This allows students to focus on foundational skills without the complexity of more intricate subjects. One of the main practices in this course is experimenting the importance of underpainting by sketching and then creating a monochromatic underpainting where students are able to establish values and composition. Preparing the base or underpainting and having knowledge of mediums such as linseed oil or turpentine are essential practices for art students learning oil painting techniques. Following the theory of the complementary colors, students experiment mixing colors on their palettes to understand how different hues can be achieved. Students also practice with a wide-range brushes and techniques to achieve different textures experimenting the variety of brushwork and strokes that can be used in oil painting, from broad strokes to fine details. By Introducing students to famous oil paintings and artists they would encourage to practice on fundamental oil painting techniques, such as blending, layering, glazing, and impasto. At the end of each session students will be asked to conduct regular critiques where they can discuss their work, share insights, and receive constructive feedback, that fosters a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

    Learn the basics of painting traditional landscapes with watercolours. Extend your painting techniques using black ink and dry media with watercolours and explore a path towards self expression with gestural painting. 

    Watercolour Explorations Supply List – Fall 2025

    Lesson 1-6 you will need basic watercolour painting supplies.

    Lesson 3 we will use masking fluid (misket or frisket) and wax crayons.

    Lesson 4 We will use black india ink or indelible ink to draw and paint with watercolours

    Lessons 5 & 6 Bring mixed media such as watercolour pencils or crayons, pastels, pencil crayons.

    Lesson 6 we will be collaging, using white pva glue or acryic matt medium


    Watercolour Paints

    Start by using brand name "academic" or "student" grade watercolours until you can commit your resources to buying "artist" grade paints. Pre-packaged sets may be more economical. Watercolour tubes are preferred but pans can be used. If you already have watercolour paints, bring them and try them out. You can always add to your supplies later. If you are buying individual paint colours, at a minimum buy one cool blue, one cool red and one clear yellow. My favourite brands are Daniel Smith and QOR. Cotman by Winsor Newton is a good quality student brand. Primary blue such as cobalt and/or ultramarine blue, primary red such as permanent rose or alizaren crimson, primary yellow such as aureolin yellow, lemon yellow or cadmium yellow. You may wish to add the following colours to your palette: Rawsienna, Sap Green, Burnt Sienna or pick your favourite colours to try.


    Watercolour Brushes

    At a minimum you will need one flat and one medium sized round watercolour brush.

    1/2”, 1” flat synthetic brushes, the longer bristled brushes are preferred. I suggest Size 4, 8, 12 round synthetic watercolour brushes. Optional brushes to add later: Rigger brush, size 1 round for fine lines, fan brush, wash brush for large areas.


    Watercolour Paper

    140 pound cold press watercolour paper is recommended. Strathmore 300 series or other brands are suitable. The high rag content will tolerate scrubbing and washing. Full sheets 22"x30"can be bought and cut as required. For the lessons you will need two pieces of paper roughly 8x10 size (or 1/8 sheet) per class. I use a steel edged ruler for cutting sheets.


    Palette

    You need something to mix your paints on. A white plastic plate will work but you will need to wash your paints off after each use. You can buy a round or rectangular palette with lid to transport and reuse your paints. Avoid coloured, paper or Styrofoam plates.


    Backboard

    A hard surface waterproof board to place your paper on when painting. This will be propped upon a slight angle. A corrugated plastic core sign board slightly bigger than your paper is light weight and reasonably priced. A plain white colour is best.


    Water containers & cleanup

    Bring 2 old margarine tubs or containers to hold clean water. Tissues, paper towels or rags are needed to catch puddles, lift paint and for clean up. I use a medium spray water spray bottle as a tool for applying water to paper. Mine was from Dollarama.

    A sketch pad and pencil will be useful for planning your painting and taking notes. You are welcome to bring a camera to take photos of my demos.
